THE PEEFACE.
Walteb Gbat, the roister of whose official acts is here presented
to the Surtees Society, was Archbishop of York from 1215 to
1255, and had a longer tenure of his exalted position than any of
his predecessors or successors. It is a most rare occurrence in the
annals of any branch of the Church for a prelate to wear the mitre
for forty years, I need not recapitulate here the chief events
in his private and public life, which, as far as they are known,
are given in detail elsewhere.* In this volume we regard him
as an ecclesiastical ruler, and scrutinise the manner in which,
during a long series of years, he administered the affairs of one
of the two great provinces of the English Church.
To the enquirer into ecclesiastical history the publication of
this voliune will be of especial interest. Archbishop Grray is
the first of our English prelates that has left a register behind
him. The chronicle of his official acts heads that noble series,
still preserved in the Registry at York, which, with the excep-
tion of a short break of ten years after Gray's decease, is com-
plete from the reign of John to that of Victoria. His is like-
wise the first English episcopal register that has been printed
in any form. Another, containing the acts of Richard de
Kellawe, bishop of Durham, and some of those of one of his
successors, Richard de Bury, is now being published in the
national series of Chronicles, under the superintendence of the
Master of the Rolls. Our neighbours across the Channel have

been, as usual, earlier in the field. A register of a French
bishop has been for some time in print.
In an inventory of the registers of the archbishops of York,
drawn up in the 14th century, that of Gray is at the head of the
list. In all probability it had no predecessor. Had such col-
lections of records ever existed, it is scarcely possible that there
should be so complete an absence of them at the present time,
seeing that we possess so many monastic charter-books of an
earlier date, although the great religious societies have expe-
rienced more rough shocks than episcopacy. The official regis-
tration of episcopal documents was probably regarded as super-
fluous. The simple production of a grant, under seal and duly
witnessed, would be considered a sufficient warrant for the
tenure of a living or an estate. As the number of such grants
increased, the keeping of an official note-book, such as Arch-
bishop Gray's Register is, made the retention of copies and
counterparts imnecessary. It saved trouble, and would be
deemed a sufficient guarantee against fraud or loss.
The Register of Archbishop Grrtiy consists of two rolls, called
the major and minor, but this designation is not of an early
date. It was suggested by the length of the respective docu-
ments. They are written on both sides, and when put together
make one grand chart 70 feet long by 8^ inches in width.
There was, probably, a third roll at one time, as the acts of the
first ten years of Gray's tenure of the see have been lost, so that
we must look upon this register or roll, when it was perfect, as
one document, divided for convenience and readiness of use
into three parts. The first of these, as I said before, is missing.
The second (the Major roll) is 42 feet 7 inches in length,
and bears a contemporaneous endorsement, which time and
friction have almost obliterated. It would not have been en-
dorsed in this way if the acts of the missing ten years had been
appended to the same roll. The beginning of this part is torn
and dirty, as, indeed, was unavoidable; and, at the end, the docu-
ments for an entire year are missing. Some fragments of the
string by which the sheet of parchment with which it terminates

was fastened to its successor are still pendent from the needle-
holes. These sheets are from 24 to 26 inches in length, and are
generally fastened together by coarse thread or string. This
second part contains the proceedings of another decade of years,
from 1225 to 1235 ; the third part bears upon the dorae, in a
contemporaneous hand, the title Regiatrwm WaUeri Oray^ and
is called the Minor roll, because, although it has upon it the
proceedings of nine more years than its predecessor, it is only
28 feet in length. It is inferior to the second roll in arrange-
ment and calligraphy, and beara evident traces not only of
carelessness of execution, but of omissions. The handwriting
of the Major roll is of remarkable neatness and beauty.
The documents on the recto of the two rolls relate to the
ecclesiastical procedure of the Archbishop, and chiefly consist
of collations and institutions to livings : those on the dorse are
of a more secular character, and relate for the most part to the
property of the see, in what way it was leased and improved.
Every now and then, particularly in the last roll, a document
strays from its proper place, but it is generally accompanied by
a contemporaneous note to show that it is a wanderer.
The first person to pay any great attention to Archbishop
Gray's Raster was James Torre, the antiquary, who died in
1699. He sifted its contents, and made an index to the whole,
which is appended to the Minor or third roll. To fitcilitate
reference, he numbered each document, dividing the two rolls
really into four parts, as he has a distinct figuring for the recto
and dorse of each. I have thought it advisable to deviate from
this arrangement, and to make two parts instead of four, the
documents on the recto of both rolls, i.e. the ecclesiastical portion,
constituting the first part ; those on the dorse of both rolls,
i.e. the secular procedure, the second. The adoption of this
plan not only recognises the continuity of the whole record,
but preserves the unity of its subject-matter. I have done this,
it ¥rill be observed, by carrying on the numbering from the one
roll to the other. To expedite reference to this imprint, I have
been allowed to insert the new numbering on the Minor or

third roll, in pencil, by the side of Mr. Torre's figures. They
have not been in any way interfered with, so that the documents
on the record can be reached as well by his index as by mine.
The First Part of this volume consists of 561 documents
(308 on the Major or second roU^ and 253 on the Minor or
third), of which 63 are printed i/n eactenao. The second part
comprises 189 documents (88 on the Major and 101 on the
Minor), 100 of which are given in their entirety either in this
volume or in 'Kirkb/s Inquest' and the * Memorials of Hexham,'
which have been already published by the Surtees Society.
By far the greater portion of the entries on the First Part are
abridged notices of the collations or institutions to livings,
which it would have been useless to print exactly as they stand
on the record. Every document of any interest has been given
in full. No clause in any deed has been passed over, and the
spelling of every proper name has been carefully adhered to,
even in cases where it is seemingly erroneous. To secure com-
plete accuracy in this respect, the record has been twice com-
pared with the transcript.
I have had the less scruple in giving a representation of this
record in an abridged form, for the most part, iEind in another
language, because the record is an abridgment itself, and the
exact reproduction of its verbiage would have been a waste of
space. It is merely a series of notes of the Archbishop's official
acts, taken down for future reference by an archiepiscopal scribe.
The greater part of the entries on the First Part, as I said
before, are of the most meagre description. An institution or
collation to a living, in its fiiU length, took the form of a
charter, with its witnesses, which, if printed at length, would
occupy some fifteen or eighteen lines of print. A similar re-
production of the notice of the same act on the roll would only
fill a third of this space.* A comparison of other entries on it
with the unabridged documents, which are to be found else-
where, tells the same tale.f The fulness that was attained on

many of the later archiepiscopal registers is not to be found
here. This is merely a private act-book of the Archbishop,
drawn up by his own chaplains, for his own use.
The largest number of documents entered on the roUs for any
one year is fifty-nine, the lowest two. It is of course impossible
to believe that even the nmnber fifty-nine represents the whole
of the documents in which the Archbishop was interested in the
course of that year ; whilst in the other case there, is an absence
of registration which it is difficult to explain. Throughout
the Third, or Minor, roll there is a great paucity of documents,
and the arrangement, and occasionally the handwriting, is of
an inferior description. This seems to point both to neglect
and haste. It is possible that the Archbishop had at this
time no regularly appointed scribe, and that his own frequent
changes of residence and long absences from his diocese in-
creased the confusion and rendered minute attention impos-
sible. But there is another way of accoimting for these apparent
shortcomings. The later primates appointed vicars-general to
do a great portion of their work when they went beyond the
limits of their province, and these officers registered their own
acts. If this was the case in the time of Archbishop Gray, the
documents which we miss may have been entered on these sub-
sidiary registers, which have not been preserved. It is observ-
able that the rolls merely record the Archbishop's own acts, and
scarcely ever refer either to suflEiragans or vicars-general. Some
few of the missing dociunents have been supplied firom other
sources ; very many, however, are still wanting, and it is easy to
see how readily omissions might occur if a note were not made at
the time. Documents would be lost in the hurry and bustle of
constant transit, and, in themselves, they were so tiny that they
might easily be mislaid. I have seen some of the original
exemplifications of institution to livings written on scraps of
parchment (under seal) about 3 inches long by 1^ inch in
width.* Even when the Archbishop possessed a careful regis-
trar, documents like these might be easily omitted. The names

of three registrars of deeds, or scribes, occur upon this record —
Simon de Evesham, Mr. Lawrence, and Odo de Richmond. The
first of the three was, successively, canon, archdeacon, and
precentor in the church of York ; and in the earlier part of
the document the frequency with which we meet the words
* Per marmm Magistri Simonis ' * shows the continuance of
his work. The hand of Odo de Richmond, another of the archi«-
episcopal chaplains, was employed on other occasion8.t Mr.
Lawrence, who had the same charge in 1233,^ was probably
Lawrence de Lincoln, sometime archdeacon of York. In the
Third or Minor roll, no official mention of any scribe is given.
The absence of this notification may help to account for the
imperfections with which the Minor roll abounds.
To illustrate each Part of this work I have given an Appendix
of original docmnents appropriate to each. These have been
derived, for the most part, from the following sources. First
in importance is the series of papal rescripts, commissions, and
mandates contained in the numerous volumes of extracts from
the registers of the Vatican which are preserved in the British
Museum. These are highly illustrative of the working of the
diocese of York during Archbishop Gray's primacy, and throw
much light upon the history of the Northern Church. I have
also laid under contribution the documents relating to Y'ork-
shire which are preserved at Ripon and Durham, and, by the great
kindness of Mr.Dimock, of Bamboro',the White Book of South-
well has been made of considerable use. If the chartularies of ihe
Northern monasteries had been thoroughly examined — a most
laborious undertaking — the mass of subsidiary papers would, no
doubt, have been considerably augmented. But it is naturally to
York MSS. that we look for assistance, and that assistance has
been largely given. The feunous White Book, now, externally and

internally as well, conlrarivs cUbo, a fine capitular register,
has been of great service, for the number of transactions which
Archbishop Gray had with his chapter at York was numerous
indeed. The Cottonian MS., Claudius, B. iii., is an early tran-
script of a portion only of the original White Book, of which
the register which bears that name at York is a fiill, though
much later, copy. In the Lansdowne MS., ccccii., which is an
archiepiscopal repertory of deeds, I have found many of the
grants on the Archbishop's side.
IL Any sketch of the progress of the Church in the diocese of
York during Archbishop Gray's primacy must be prefiiced by
an account of the position in which he stood towards his tem-
poral and ecclesiastical superiors. A concurrence of favouring
circumstances is generally requisite for success in life. Those
who carry great ecclesiastical reforms at the sword's point by
the sheer force of intellect and energy are but few. Now,
to begin with. Archbishop Gray was eminently fitted for the
office to which he was raised. He came into a diocese neglected
in many ways, and distracted by jealousies and contentions.
The position was favoiurable for him, and he was thoroughly
equal to it. He was fiill of energy and shrewdness, a skilfid
courtier, with a thorough command of his temper and a perfect
knowledge of men and manners. He stood high in the favour
of John and Henry III., and, at the same time, was generally
liked. For many years of his life he was the leading person
in the Councils of the nation, and at all times was in the
foremost rank of politicians. We never hear of a struggle
between him and the Crown, whilst his patriotism is imim-
peached. He comes, then, a man of energy and power, into a
diocese where work was needed and would bear immediate fruit,
and he had at his back the authority and influence of the
monarch of the day.
We must remember, however, that the time of an energetic pre-
late in those days was only half his own. It was claimed by that
outer world which had a far greater hold on such a man than it
has now. The cares of the State, which devolve at present upon

the intelligent layman, were then, by necessity almost, upon the
shoulders of the ecclesiastic. When we find that there was
scarcely any great office under the Crown, from the regency down-
wards, which Gray did not fill, we may well be surprised at his
ability to do so much for his long-neglected diocese. In most
of the great public negotiations of his coimtry he played a part.
At most of the great public ceremonials for nearly half a
century he was present. Changes of occupation necessitate
changes of scene. Indeed, they tend to create a habit of rest-
lessness which is nowhere more observable than in the move-
ments of our mediaeval bishops. The following itinerary of
Archbishop Gray for a single year, as far as it is possible to
construct it, tends to corroborate what I have just said. It is
for the year 1228.

derable. During some years of Archbishop Melton's primacy,
a century later, we might see where he was on each day,
perhaps, in the twelve months. Like the monarch, the bishop
was rarely a week together in the same place. When such a
person as Gray was in his diocese, he did his own work with the
assistance of his council. When he was absent, he left suffra-
gans and deputies to act in his stead. These deputies kept
registers of their own. The very scanty number of documents,
which are noted in some years on Archbishop Gray's rolls
does not show that the primate was indolent. A man who
plays the part of Atlas cannot be justly reprehended for
carrying a light burden.
Let us now look at the position which Archbishop Gray
occupied in respect to the papal court. There were five popes
during his archiepiscopate — Honorius III., Gregory IX.,
Celestine IV., Innocent IV., and Alexander IV. It does not
appear that he ever had a collision with any of them. Honorius,
on one or two occasions, wrote a sharp letter to him, especially
in the matter of that fertile subject of debate between York
and Canterbury, the bearing of the cross erect, but this was
all.* One great cause of national complaint against Rome in
this century was the appointment of Italians to English bene-
fices, especially by papal provision. In 1231 this was made the
pretext for an outbreak against these persons by a Yorkshire
knight of the name of Robert de Thweng. Under the name of
William Wither, a kind of Jack Straw, he led a plundering
foray on the benefices which these strangers occupied, and some
violence was done. Gregory IX. took this outrage to heart, and
made the archbishop of York, the bishop of Durham, and John
Romanus, treasurer of York, his Commissioners in the North of
England to excommunicate the offenders and send them to
Rome for absolution. Romanus had been a sufferer himself.
He was of Italian origin, as his name betokens, and held a rich
preferment in Yorkshire; and while the insurrection lasted he
was in such fear that he lay for a time concealed in York

Minster, expecting death if he was discovered.* Cincius, a
member of the noble family of Cenci, and a canon of London,
was, I believe, a friend of fiomanus. The insurgents caught
him between St. Albans and London, and he received some
rough handling.! Archbishop Gray has been blamed for coim-
tenancing these foreigners, and perhaps with some justice.
They occur immistakeably on his Register, and in considerable
numbers.^ We must recollect, however, that it was no easy
matter for the Archbishop to extricate himself from the miser-
able system that obtained. His temper must have been deeply
stirred when those on whom he had pledged himself to confer
some benefice, by a promise to a potent kinsman, declined to
accept a proffered boon, and held that the engagement was unful-
filled unless they received the flower of his preferment.§ Gre-
gory IX. had the courage to check these caterpillars.!! The way in
which the rich living of Gainford was treated is suggestive of the
practiceof the times.lf The patronage had the chance, apparently,
of passing for ever into the papal hands, for it seems to have been
held by foreigners for several generations; and when such persons
died at the papal court,a8 was frequently the case, the pope claimed
the right of presenting to the benefices they had vacated. On this
point Archbishop Gray prevailed on Honorius to give vay.** But
the primate had other troubles as well. For some time he was
exposed to the hungering demands of those who had a general
letter of provision, until Innocent IV. released him from attention
to all that were not specially directed to him.tt The system of
pensions was likewise a great tax on the means and forbearance
of our bishops,^} and also the dispensations for plurality. But,

after all, Gray had less reason to complain of this system of
intrusion and interference than those who came after him. It
killed his immediate successor, Sewal de Boville, and evoked
the indignant remonstrances of Archbishop Bomanus, who,
singularly enough, owed the wealth of his family to the system
which he decried. But in the first half of the fourteenth
century it reached its climax, and the energetic measiires then
taken by Edward III. put an end to the domination of the
cardinals and their satellites over the English benefices and
dignities.
The suflEragans of the see of York were but few, and in his
connection with them Archbishop Gray seems to have been on
amicable terms. The most recalcitrant of the dependent sees
and the most powerful was that of Durham. The bishops of
Durham, with their brethren at Carlisle, were, in the 12th cen-
tury, members of the chapter of York,* a position which gives
to that body for the time the aspect of a provincial committee.
The profession of obedience was the crux between the two
sees ; and although Gray consecrated four bishops of Diurham, it
was only once rendered, and the act of submission was duly
recorded.! The four were Eichard de Marisco, archdeacon of
Richmond, Eichard Poor, Nicholas de Famham, and Walter de
Kirkham, dean of York. Among the acts of Archbishop Gray
there are various documents connected with the bishopric of
Durham, especially when the see was vacant. He had the right
of instituting to livings, which was afterwards exercised, and
very properly, by the prior and convent ; he confirmed appoint-
ments and grants.} These confirmations, however, were generally
of deeds connected with some of the chief legal transactions of
the prior and convent, such as the famous Convenit between
them and their bishops,§ to which the approval of the metro-
politan of the province gave an additional security, or of matters
in which the archbishop had some local interest. There was,
however, no great amity between Gray and the ecclesiastical

authorities of the bishopric. — With the prior and convent he
was at issue respecting the jurisdiction over their Yorkshire
churches.* With the bishops there was the frequently asserted
and rejected claim of submission. In 1227 the Archbishop was
censiured by the pope for not expediting the consecration of the
bishop electjt but the delay was mainly caused by prolonged
litigation. Three bishops of Carlisle were consecrated by
Walter Q-ray — Hugh, Walter Mauclerc, and Silvester de Everdon.
Of these, Walter Mauclerc was allowed by Innocent IV. and the
Archbishop to resign his see for the purpose of becoming a
preaching friar at Oxford.J In early life he was a canon of
SouthweU5§ and his profession of obedience as bishop is given
in the Appendix. J This volume also contains some valuable
evidence as to the position in which the see of York stood to
Scotland. In 1235 Archbishop Gray consecrated a person of
the name of Gilbert to the see of Whitheme, or Galloway.
There was another candidate in the field of the name of Odo,
who had the sufirages of the prior and convent of Whitheme.
Their voting paper, with others, is given in the Appendix,ir the
earliest document of that nature, I believe, that exists, and the
only one in connection with that Scottish see that has been dis-
covered. Everything that we know of the constitution of the
old chapter of \\Tiitherne is derived from it. Gilbert, who,
like most of his successors during the next century, acted as
the Archbishop's suffragan in Yorkshire,** died in 1253, and
there are several papers on the rolls connected with the ap-
pointment of his successor.ft There is also some interesting
evidence in this volume about the bishops of Man and the
Isles. In 1224 Honorius III. empowers Archbishop G-ray to
accept, after due enquiry, the resignation of Bishop Nicholas. JJ
This is the person who is said to have died in 1217 ; and this

document seems eflFectually to disprove the existence of a second
prelate of that name, as Mr. Grub* has conjectured, because he is
here spoken of as having been for a long time an exile from his
see. In 1225 this Nicholas became one of the rectors of Kelloe,
in the diocese of Durham,! and in the following year he was
in attendance upon the archbishop, probably as a suffragan.
Nicholas was succeeded by a bishop of the name of John, who like-
wise resigned his see before the year 1226, when we find him
holding an ordination for Archbishop Gray at York. J In 1244
there was another vacancy of this obscure and little-coveted see,
and a curious letter of Innocent IV. is preserved, in which he
gives the electors, the prior and convent of Fumess, the power
of having the future bishop consecrated at York. The right of
consecration, he states, had been divided between the archi-
episcopal sees of York and Drontheim, or Nidros ; but the
danger of crossing the wild Norwegian seas was so great that
scarcely any one dared to imperil his life by traversing them,
even though he won a mitre by the joumey.§ It does not ap-
pear that the monks of Fumess availed themselves of this
option as far as York was concerned, but the wisdom of Inno-
cent's letter was soon established, as the next bishop elect of
Man who went to Drontheim for consecration was lost at sea.
Archbidiop Gray never alludes to the see of Glasgow, which
was at one time subject to his predecessors. He did not, how-
ever, repudiate Scottish orders. || But it must not be forgotten
that in his metropolitan character he laid claim to the privilege
of consecrating Alexander II. of Scotland. There was no re-
cognition.of his demand, although it was officially authorised
by Henry III. of England.^
III. We now come to the consideration of the principles on
which the Church in the North was governed, which have a
wider bearing than the province to which they especially refer.

XX PREFACE.
The archbishop was a part in a system, an agent amid
many agencies, the mouth-piece of the collective wisdom of the
heads of his province and his chapter, not an irresponsible
oracle. He was boimd, in the first place, to carry out the de-
crees of the Councils of the Church, and as to the interpretation
of doubtful points, and for special guidance and instruction in
questions of novelty and diflBciUty, he was in frequent com-
munication with the papal court. The two chief Councils, the
decrees of which may especially be traced on the acts of Arch-
bishop Gray, are those held at the Lateran in 1179 and 1215,
at which the great practical questions of non-residence, plural-
ity, lapses, and the endowment and consolidation of livings, were
particularly treated. Founded upon these and other similar
utterances of the Church, lie, no doubt, laid down, with the
assent and advice of his coimcil, certain decrees of his own. A
few only of these remain, relating to the authorised ornaments
of chiurches, and a prescribed system of tithing ;* but tliese are
remnants, probably, of a larger code, which I have been unable
to discover. There is nothing to show whether they were of
a provincial or merely diocesan character. If they were dio-
cesan, like those of several of the early bishops of Durham, they
would have the approval of the diocesan synod before they were
issued in the archbishop's name ; on the other hand, if they were
designed for the Northern province, they would be enacted after
due consideration with the bishops and clergy of the province
in Convocation assembled. On matters of a more serious im-
port, in which the interests of the whole English Chm-ch were
concerned, the Northern and the Southern Convocations met in
joint assembly, or, at all events, there was a conference between
the two. A letter written to Henry III. in 1252, from the
chief persons in the Northern Convocation, testifies to the pre-
valence of such meetings in times of emergen cy.| On great
occasions, such as the Council at London in 1237, when the le-
gate Otho promulgated his famous Constitutions,; Archbishop

PREFACE. XXI
Gray was present, together with his brother of Canterbury.
He was only continuing a practice which obtained among his
spiritual ancestors before and after the Conquest. On all great
occasions, when there was need of united councils, the two
English primates sat together to legislate for the welfare of the
Church in which they were both so deeply interested. The
contentions which consequently sprung up between the two
archbishops put an end to this custom before the 13th centmy
expired. It might be revived in these days with considerable
advantage, without interfering with the separate action of the
two Convocations in their general and more commonplace
deliberations. It is sometimes said that the Northern Convo-
cation is too small in numbers. I long to see the Scottish
bishops re-included among the suflFragans of York. The great-
est blow, that Scotland ever inflicted upon her Church was
when she made it independent of York.
The synod, or the deliberative body of the diocesan clergy,
met during Archbishop Gray's primacy twice in each year.
We have no precise evidence as to its constituent parts, or the
subjects to which its attention was directed, but they were, no
doubt, matters of practical utility in connection with discipline
and work. Another series of consultative bodies of great advan-
tage to the diocese was the ruri-decanal chapters, the number
of these deaneries being probably the same that prevailed to
very recent times. At these meetings most of the testamentary
business was transacted, and the greater part of the work that
is now entrusted to commissioners, the legal advisers, and the
secretary of the primate. These chapters were usefidly and
actively employed in taking evidence and doing work of various
kinds to assist the archbishop and his council.
Upon the archdeacons devolved the inspection of the fabrics,
the great subject of dilapidations, and the supervision of what
was necessary for the due celebration of the services and sacra-
ments, and for the ornaments of the churches and ministers.
This they did, not, as is the custom at thp present time, by
bringing the clergy before them once in two or three years, in an

unrecognised crowd, to listen to expositions of doctrine, and ten
thousand things besides which it is not their province to deliver,
but by visiting the clergy at their homes and inspecting their
chmrches, not only on occasions when they were regularly sum-
moned, but at stated periods, certainly not less frequently than
once or twice in each year. The archdeacon, in fact, was a
travelling inspector, the eye of the bishop, looking closely into
every comer of his diocese, and as much the representative of
the clergy as he was of his master. The clergy were required
to entertain the archdeacon and a limited suite, and were
charged with a certain yearly sum for his expenditure.
* The chapter is the bishop's council ' is one of those often-
quoted speeches which few really understand. In the infancy
of capitular institutions the bishop resided at the cathedral
church, and was its head, an abbat acting under him, with the
title of vice-donmus, who was probably the deputy of the
prelate. Such was the case at York prior to the Conquest ; and
subsequent to that great national change Archbishop Thomas,
the Norman, attempted to modify the secular character of his
cathedral and to put the canons imder something like monastic
discipline and vows, calling them into residence and increasing
their number, and placing a dean in the room of the ancient
abbat. This he and his successors tried in vain to carry out.
The minster or cathedral body continued to consist of secular
canons, under the rule of a dean ; and with regard to the posi-
tion of the archbishop among them, this is the system that has
obtained from that day to this. The archbishop was and still is
the head of the church, as the chief temple in his diocese ; but
the dean was and is the head of the chapter, as a consultative and
active body. The statutes by which the chapter are governed
(putting aside any subsidiary rules which they can make and
change of themselves, provided that no statute is infringed by
them, and which are of the nature of bye-laws) have been
laid down after joint deliberation by the chapter and the
archbishop, or made by the chapter and sanctioned by the
archbishop. Neither can alter or add to the statutes with-

out the other, but it is always in the archbishop's power,
after a visitation held in a duly prescribed way, to enforce
the observance of these statutes. The archbishop, although
head of the church, is not a member of the chapter, and can
only come into the chapter-house as a visitor to examine into
the observance of the statutes. Many of these statutes owe their
origin to Archbishop Gray, and I shall endeavour to point out
the position in which he stood to the body which he so largely
assisted and endowed. In the first place, it will be observed
that in all legal documents relating to the respective endow-
ments of the see and the chapter the confirmation of the other
was required ; indeed, this necessity pressed more strongly upon
the archbishop than upon the chapter, for in his case it ex-
tended to such superadded endowments as were settled upon
the chantries in his churches, and the appointments of his
officers ; and even now the clause in many an archiepiscopal
document, ' saving the rights, dignities, and privileges of oiur
cathedral and metropolitical chiurch of St. Peter, at York,'
excites the curiosity of the enquirer as to its meaning. The
explanation of this proviso is a simple one. The archbishop
had, in the first instance, no property distinct from his cathe-
dral. The old endowments of the see were made to the
archbishop and his church ; and after each subsequently took a
separate share, the ownership of the chapter in the archbishop's
estate — nay, in the property of every living in the diocese — did
not really expire with the severance ; and this system of con-
firmations was continued as a salutary precaution to prevent the
common estate from alienation and waste. The very fee of the
house and grounds of Bishopthorpe was vested in the chapter by
the donor. Archbishop Gray himself, as perpetual trustees for the
use of his successors in the primacy, and at each vacancy of the
s^e the chapter still resume possession of their ancient property.
If an archbishop were to refuse to live there, the place, by Walter
Gray's express order, would belong altoge her to the chapter.*
We now come to a very interesting question — the position in

which the chapter stood to the archbishop as his advisers.
When the archbishop was the head of the chapter, in the same
sense in which the dean is now, he had but one vote in its consul-
tations, and his decision was the decision of the majority, just as
it was in the case of the pope and the Sacred College in the early-
annals of the Church of Rome. But this custom did not pre-
vail at York subsequent to the Conquest. In the time of
Archbishop Gray, the chapter as a consultative body was
independent of the archbishop, but it still assisted him in
his diocesan work. There is extant a very important letter
from Honorius III., in which, at Gray's request, he allows the
dean, precentor, chancellor, and treasurer of York to be
occasionally non-resident, to assist the primate with their
advice.* They needed such a permission, inasmuch as they
were required by their duty to the Minster to be in almost
continual residence. The other canons might come and go to
the archbishop without let or enquiry. From the list of wit-
nesses appended to the official acts of Walter Gray, it is evident
that he had generally with him not only several representatives
of the chapter of York, but at least one from each of those of
Ripon, Beverley, and Southwell. These seemed to have formed
a kind of travelling council to which he could at all times refer.
They were a kind of committee representing their chapters
at home. In the first instance they had, I believe, a voice in
everything that the archbishop did, even to the giving away of
livings. In Gray's time this, no doubt, was considerably
modified, yet still the recommendation of the coimcil was to be
taken. This conjunction, however, did not continue long, and
I believe that the breaking up of this system was caused not
more by the desire of the chapters to be more independent of
the archbishops, than of the archbishops to be free from the
say of the committee of the chapters.
The chapter of York, then, during Archbishop Gray's primacy,
was exempt from, and yet assistant in, diocesan work. The
archdeacons were not ex^^fficio members of it at all. The rural-

deans had far diflferent positions and duties. The Minster was
the first church in the province in dignity and ritual, and the
arbiter of the religious use which obtained in the province.
She was the spanea,^ not the son or daughter, of the archbishop,
his nearest relative and adviser, keeping her house in due
order at home, whilst her lord did his work in a thousand
places abroad. The richness of his gifts to her and her sister
minsters, the way in which he augmented her endowments and
increased the number of her oflBcers, belong more properly to a
special history of the cathedral itself. Walter Gray was pro-
bably the greatest benefactor that the minster of York ever
had. It is, however, a remarkable fact that the wealth which
he showered upon her was derived through the monasteries from
the parishes of his diocese. The process was a very singular
one. A monastery possessed the patronage, say, of five livings,
in which probably the shares of the rector and the vicar were
not clearly and duly apportioned. The archbishop said : Give
me two of these, and you shall have the other three to your-
selves. In this way there was a sort of advantage to all the
parties concerned. The monastery stepped into the position of
lay rector of three livings, and thus received the great tithes,
when, perhaps, it had only possessed a small annual pension
before ; the living had a vicar provided for it, with a properly
regulated stipend which had been previously wanting, and the
archbishop got two new livings to himself and his successors.
These, for the most part, he settled upon certain offices in York
minster as a perpetual endowment. In this way the cathedral
establishments were strengthened at the expense of the monastic
and parochial systems. Whether this was a proper thing for
the archbishop to do may certainly be questioned. At all
events it will be some satisfaction to the objector to know that
the property which thus accrued to the metropolitical church

in the North has gone back at last through the Ecclesiastical
Commissioners to the use of the parish churches of the land
from some of which it was originally taken away. Nay, more, in
addition to such superadded gifts as' those of Archbishop Gray,
the parish churches have got what they were never entitled to,
the original endowments of the cathedrals throughout the land.
If, therefore, our minsters, particularly those of the old foun-
dation, are to be required to do diocesan work on an extensive
scale, the diocese must first re-endow them. The mother must
not be left to starve whilst the children possess the greater part
of her substance.
It will be seen from what has been said that the position of
the chief officers in the English Church is strangely different
from what it was at one time. The Chmrch has lost too much
of its old republican character. The bishops and deans of old
may be regarded in many respects as chairmen of committees.
The archbishops of York acted upon the votes of convocations,
or synods, or private councils, of which, at the present time,
they are almost entirely independent. The deans of York were
merely the presidents of the chapter, with scarcely any distinct
duties in the administration of the Church ; the precentor,
chancellor, and treasurer performed these, and the Visitor cor-
rected them in case of neglect. The archdeacons were intended
to visit regularly, and come short of their duty by simply
delivering charges to the clergy en masse. The work of the
old ruri-decanal chapters is now entrusted to lawyers and com-
missioners, whilst the rural-deans are called upon to take the
part in some respects of the old capitular council, and in others
to supersede the synods of old in helping to lay down laws.
The rural-dean is really nothing more than the president of
his chapter, and apart from it he has no proper existence
at all, as he should speak the views of the majority of his
clergy, not his own. In the presence of all these anomalies
and deviations from ancient precedent and practice the cry for
reform very naturally arises. To-day it is raised against the
cathedral chapters ; and, no doubt, cathedral chapters, like the

other persons and bodies tliat I have named, stand in need of
official amendment. People complain of our cathedrals looking
like half-furnished houses. I might ask, How have they become
emptied ? But, passing that by, it will be perfectly easy, in
the case of the cathedrals of the old foundation, by reviving
the duties and numbers of their ancient officers, not only to
make our minsters appear full, but to make them of the greatest
use. In the new foundations the honorary canons should be
constituted members of the chapter, and they too would be filled
as welL The work originated and carried on in and from our
cathedrals might radiate in every direction. Eitual, education,
learning, preaching, might well find in them their niursery.
Let each person have something to do, something that he can
do. The bishop, who very properly has, or should have, the
appointment of the canons, knows what is required to be done
and can select the agent. The dignities and the residentiaryships
should be combined, and the holders of them should be in con-
tinual residence. In the whole united body the bishop would
find, according to ancient precedent, his proper and legitimate
council, which might bo subdivided at times into committees, to
devote themselves to particular subjects. At the same time it
should be remembered that the chapters, for many centuries,
have been assistants in diocesan work, not its source and origin.
This distinction has been a wise one. If a bishop were to
become head of the chapter as the dean is now, and if the chief
officers of the diocese were to be beneficed in the cathedral, the
diocese would suflfer, for the cathedral ought to have perpetual
residentiaries. The bishop, also, would, of course, have no
power of action independent of his chapter, if he stepped into
the place of the dean.
IV. A subject of the highest historical importance must now
be touched upon, I mean the traces which remain in Archbishop
Gray's time of the old Celtic customs in regard to clerical
marriages and the ownership and descent of ecclesiastical
property.

tion for a long while after the Norman Conquest. This may
be traced in many ways. Aldmie, bishop of Durham, had a
daughter, Ecgfrida, who actually received as a dowry three of
the manors belonging to the see. Eanulf Flambard, another
bishop of the same diocese, had a son bearing his name who
became archdeacon of Durham. Geoffrey Bufus, his successor,
had a daughter. A fourth, Hugh de Puiset, had a wife,
Adeliza de Percy. And so it was at York. Thomas, the second
Norman archbishop, nephew of Thomas the first, was a son of
Sampson, who became bishop of Worcester. Thurstan was a
son of a prebendary of St. Paul's ; and there is a person towards
the end of the 12th centiuy who witnesses several charters as
WiUdmus filiua Archiepiscopi, who probably had Archbishop
Eoger for his sire. With such examples among the rulers of
the Church we may expect to find a similar laxity, to say the
least, among the clergy beneath them. The old canons of
Durham who were displaced by William of St. Carileph were
all married men, as Symeon aflSrms. So were the reformed
canons of York. In a remarkable letter which Gerard of York
wrote to his brother archbishop, Anselm of Canterbury, he
complains bitterly of the oiBScers of his cathedral because they
would not give up their wives* — nay, so common was the mar-
riage of the clergy that in 1107 Pope Paschal, writing to
Anselm, states that the sons of priests are so numerous * ut
major psene et melior clericonmi pars in hac specie censeatur,'
and allows him, therefore, to use his own discretion as to the
immediate carrying out of the papal Constitution against the
promotion of such persons to sacred offices.f
At the same time that we find a married clergy so general,
we observe, as a kind of natural consequence, that livings and
offices in the Church were given away by their tenants and
handed down from father to son. In the seventh century it
seems to have been in the power of the retiring archbishop of

York to nominate his successor,* and immediately after the
Conquest there seems to have been something very like an
hereditary succession in the same high dignity. In the church
of Durham the son regularly succeeded his father.f I have
printed elsewhere a pedigree of the priests and provosts of
Hexham, showing a similar descent of their offices,} and Aelred
of Eievaux did not cease to be regarded as a Saint because his
father, and grandfather, and great-grandfather were priests.
Similar tables of the descent of the ancient deans of Whalley
and Kettelwell, who were persons of great influence and autho-
rity, might be drawn up. The tendency of this system was to
secularise the Church, and its endowments were treated as family
property, to be cut and carved as their possessors chose.
On the side of strict discipline there was a vigorous struggle
against all this laxity. Hildebrand first denoimced it, and in
England Anselm arrayed himself on the same side with all his
energy and power. In 1102, in a national council held at
London, Anselm and Gerard of York denounced priestly mar-
riage and hereditary succession. So did William of Canterbury
and Thurstan of York in two other Councils holden at London
and Westminster in 1126 and 1127, and throughout the century
a fierce warfare was waged by the reforming party in the Church,
but the evil was too deeply seated to be easily or quickly re-
moved. The Eegister of Aichbishop Gray shows that it con-
tinued for a longer time than has been previously supposed. In
1221 Honorius III. wrote to the archbishop of York desiring
him to remove from their livings the married clergy, and all
who had succeeded their fathers in their preferments, a sirailai*
order being directed to the bishops of Lincoln and Worcester,
two dioceses in which the York influence was more or less
8trong.§ Unfortunately the Eegister of Archbishop Gray
between 1221 and 1225 has been lost, so that we cannot see

how he carried out the papal mandate in its freshness ; but
among the records of the succeeding years there are several
cases mentioned in which a reforifaation was attempted or made.*
The custom, no doubt, was on the wane, but the evident
timidity with which the successor of one of these deprived
persons regarded his own tenure of his post, shows what doubt
there was as to the propriety of the reform and its permanence.
Everyone must be struck by the tenacity with which the
ejected ecclesiastics clung to their old possessions. It is evident
that these papal and archiepiscopal orders were considered an
invasion of long-established and salutary privileges and rights.
V. It is easy to trace in Archbishop Gray's Eegister the
existence, in other ways, of an amount of lay interference with
church property which it is diflBcult in these days to realise.
Portions and medieties of livings were common enough, point-
ing, I believe, to a division between heiresses or different pro-
prietors. It had been in the power of a lay patron to detach
fragments from his livings and present to them, which took the
form of pensions or portions. He had been able also to allot
the tithes pretty much as he liked among the ministers of the
church, reserving, no doubt, at times a share in them for him-
self. Such at least was the case in the twelfth century, when
Anselm and Gerard denoimced it. It was not unusual in
Archbishop Gray's time for three or four persons to have a
pecuniary interest in one and the same living, a state of things
which would lead to pauperise the benefice and lessen the re-
sponsibility of each person connected with it. The rector was
frequently non-resident, the vicar taking the place of the
modem curate, and, like him, being at times most inadequately
remunerated. We find occasionally vicars appointed by the
rectors and approved by the archbishop, with the sanction of
the lay patron. Lay influence is observable everywhere. In
one instance we find it reaching to a monastery in a very re-
markable way. When the prior of Cartmell, in North Lan-
cashire, died, it was the custom of the monks to nominate two

PREFACE. XXXI
persons as his successors to the lay patron of the house. He
selected one, and the bishop of the diocese always approved his
choice. Gregory IX. orders Archbishop Gray to bring this
custom to an end.* It is more than probable that the lay
patrons, or founders of monasteries, to whom, in mediaeval
times, they could always appeal for an hereditary support, had
in early times, as a general rule, no inconsiderable say in the
appointment of the monastic presidents, and in the more
weighty concerns of the religious houses with which they were
connected.
A presentation to a church in Archbishop Gray's time meant
the rectory, and even though the living had become appro-
priated to some monastery, the rector, eo Tiomine^ as a distinct
minister, had not altogether ceased to exist. But the non-
residence of altnost all rectors was one of the great evils of the
day, and against this and the harmful subdivision of livings
Archbishop Gray set his face. He was urgent for the consoli-
dation of livings. By obliging the rector to reside he made a
vicar imnecessary, and so the vicar disappears. If the rector
could not come into residence he was required to provide a
vicar as a resident substitute, to whom the archbishop either
sanctioned or provided a competent endowment; but this was
merely a temporary arrangement, like the position of the
modem curate. Against the continuance of medieties and
portions Archbishop Gray waged a perpetual war, and with con-
siderable success.
At the same time the archbishop exerted his influence to
secure the erection of chapels. In 1233 he took the advice of
Gregory IX. on this subject.! Many of the parishes in his
diocese were then so large that it became impossible for the
inhabitants of the widely-scattered and distant hamlets to attend
the services at the one church of the parish ; and, more than
that, in the case of extreme sickness, the priest was often imable
to reach the dying person in time to administer to him the last
offices of religion. To obviate these difficulties, the pope

advised the archbishop to encourage the erection of oratories
and chapels, which necessitated the residence of priests ^^o serve
them, and were to be of no pecuniary loss to the mother cliiurches
which they were designed to assist. Many of these have since
become distinct and separate benefices, others have passed alto-
gether away, and nothing remains in many a secluded hamlet
save the name of chapel field, or garth, to show that there was
at one time a little house of God set down in that place.
In some few instances we find Archbishop Gray empowered
to grant dispensations for plurality.* The plea alleged was the
great need that he had of men of eminence and ability among
his oflBcers, and the diflSculty of securing such unless they were
adequately rewarded. Such dispensations were granted fre-
quently enough by the popes to clerks within the diocese of
York without the intervention of the archbishop. It is difficult
to reconcile such a course of procedure with the orders that
came so frequently from Rome that non-residence should be
utterly suppressed-f
There are no ordination lists on these rolls ; they would be
registered elsewhere ; and by a similar reason we must explain
the almost complete absence of all cases of ecclesiastical dis-
cipline. In one instance a man ill-treats his wife, and is
obliged to find sureties for his future good conduct, after going
through some salutary scourging at the door of his parish
church.J In another, a refractory clerk confesses to having
broken the sequestration of the church of Arksey, but refuses
boldly to make any compensation for the offence.§ There is
not a single instance of any punishment being allotted to a
monk, although we are not to infer, from the absence of such
records, that the religious houses were then without reproach.

covered from other sources, and a code of rules which Archbishop
Gray laid down for the management of St. John's hospital at
Nottingham, ia remarkably interesting.* It is plain that there
must have been books set apart for matters of correction and
discipline which have not been preserved.
There is little in this Begister to show that Archbishop Gray
was a benefactor to any extent to monastic institutions. With
the exception of a few small pensions to them in cases of need,
and the confirmation of privileges and grants which they had
for some time enjoyed, he added little to their accumulated
stores. He probably thought that the lavish gifts of the pre-
ceding century had made them superfluously wealthy, and it
was evidently his wish to raise up a different element of useful-
ness and power in his cathedrals and chapters. Walter Gray
may be called the second foimder of the church of York, so
noble were his gifts to it — ^gifts which it is impossible in this
place either to enumerate or to estimate as they deserve. At
Southwell also and Ripon we see him scattering his benefac-
tions. To his successors in the see the archbishop left behind
him by his munificence two new residences, Bishopthorpe,
near York, and a palace at Westminster. At Bishopthorpe,
now the only official house of the archbishops, there are still
architectural remnants to show that he was the builder of a
mansion as well as the buyer of the estate. The great house
at Westminster, which was acquired from Hubert de Burgh,
has passed away from the see, and under the name of Whitehall
possessed a far greater renown than it had as an archiepiscopal
abode, even when Wolsey was its lord.
I must not omit to notice the existence of a very important
dociunent, in which Archbishop Gray lays down certain rules
for the Archdeacon of Kichmond and his successors, to which
my readers must be referred.f
In one instance only do I find the archbishop mentioned in

XXXIV PREFACE.
contained in the college of that name.* In making this dona-
tion he had before him the example of one of his own friends,
William of Laneham, Archdeacon of Durham and Canon of
York, This brings the archbishop into close connection with
tlie true founder of University College, and therefore of the
University of Oxford, on which the gratuitous assumption of a
remote antiquity confers nothing but the ridicule of scholars.
Laneham was, no doubt, a native of the village of that name in
Nottinghamshire, where the Archbishop of York had a favourite
residence and immense influence. If the secret were known,
we should probably find that Archbishop Gray was the helper
and adviser of William of Laneham, or William of Durham, as
he is called, not only in his benefaction to Oxford, but also in
his foundation of the college of Vicars Choral in connection with
the Minster of York.
The publication of this Register throws some little light
upon the architectural works of Archbishop Gray, so conspi-
cuous as they are even at the present time for their dignity and
beauty. There are indulgences for the fabric of each of the four
minsters of his diocese, in all of which there is work remaining
which carries us back to the days of the great archbishop. The
foundation deed of the chantry of St. Michael, in the south tran-
sept of the nave at York, gives us, practically, the date of its
completion.f The western front at Ripon, the femoiis transept
at York, the lovely little church of Skelton near the same city,
the chapel of the ancient palace there, now used as the library
of the minster, remind us of Gray's taste and munificence, and
attest the excellency of the Early English style of architecture,
of which they are such noble monuments. I could multiply
instances, but these shall speak for others as they speak for
themselves.
There are many documents made use of in the illustration of
this work, which are interesting in the highest degree ; the ex-
periences, to wit, of Fulk Basseit, afterwards Dean of York and

PREFACE. XXXV
Bishop of London, in the provostiy of Beverley,* and his qualms
of conscience through which he was ultimately exalted. I
would mention also the struggle between the master of the
hospital at Northallerton and the rector of the parish, in which,
to test a right, the master seems to emulate the incident in an
Eastern story by laying a corpse at the gate of the churchyard ;t
and the still more strange dispute between the Prior of St.
Michael's Moimt and a real Marmion, about tiie manor of Wath,
in Bichmondshire, in which the question of ownership was
decided by a duel, which is fully described.^ These are samples
of the rest, and I must leave them and others for the amuse-
ment and information of my readers. In conclusion, I have
only to thank Messrs. Buckle and Hudson, the deputy-registrars
of the Court of York, for their kindness in giving the Editor
permission to make use of this, the most ancient Begister
under their charge. Although I have censured elsewhere the old
hereditary succession to ecclesiastical preferments in the pro-
vince of York, the Surtees Society and their Secretary, grateful
for a succession of &vours, have good reason to be thankful for
the adoption of tho 8 oni i Oiy p rinciple in the case of that office
in the Court of York, of which Messrs. Buckle and Hudson are
the hereditary occupants.

A LIST
OF THB
PONTIFICAL YEAES OF ARCHBISHOP GRAY.
ArchHshop Gray's pontifical year dates from the day on which
Innocent III. confirmed his election at Rome. This seems to
have been the 10th, of November ; as we find from the dates
given in the archiepiscopal register, that the 9th of November
(the 5th of the Ides) was in one pontifical year, and the 11th
(the 3rd of the Ides) in another. The following table will assist
the historical student : —

de Wirkinton, hujusmodi successio in ecclesia prsefata a qui-

* ATchbishop Gray had been bishop of Worcester before he was trans-
lated to York. St Wulstan and his see had been previously connected with
York.
t Afterwards rector of Leke. See No. oux. He was also canon of YoA;
and, as such, in 1241, he witnessed Archbishop Gray's ordination of his
chantry at St Michael's altar (Claudius, B. iii. 766).
X There are two documents relating to him in the Appendix. There is a
document at Durham, but unfortunately without date, addressed by Arch-
bishop Gray to Mr. G., the penancer, and Mr. W. de Taney, canon of York,
stating that he has instituted F. Basset, provost of Beverley, to the church
of Howden, at the presentation of the prior and convent of Durham. ISeal
appended.^
Fulk Basset was a younger son of Alan Basset of Wycomb. On the
death of his elder brother, who was killed whilst hunting, the inheritance
came to him, but the estate devolved on his younger brother Philip, as he
was in Orders (Dugdale's Bar. i. 884).
Basset became dean of York and afterwards bishop of London, and
died of the plague in 1259. See Matt Paris, var. loc. ; also Newcourt's
, Report., and Hardy's Le Neve. See also Feed. i. 218 ; Bridges' Northants,

t This person seems to have been Archbishop Gray's scribe; and to have
been in constant attendance upon him. He held high preferment in the
church of York, having been made, successively, prebendary of Weighton,
precentor, archdeacon E. R., and, finally, archdeacon of Richmond. On the
day before Michaelmas Day, 1272, a chantry was founded in York Minster
by th^ abbot and convent of Byland, for the soul of Mr. Simon, archdeacon
of Richmond. It viras endoveed with ten marks yearly, out of Thorp Maltby,
near York (Fabric Rolls of York Minster, 201). I do not know what rela-
tion he was, if any, to Hugh de Evesham, canon of York and cardfhal of
St Jjawrence in Ludna, so renowned for his medical skilL He died in

H., bishop of Ostia and Velletri, that we would provide
Nicholas,* his nephew, to some ecclesiastical benefice. We
collated him to the chxirch of St. Mary, Notingeham, believing
thereby that we were freed from oxir promise. The said
bishop, dissatisfied, asked us to give the living to some one
else, and present his nephew to a prebend. A stall at
Suwell having become vacant by the death of Gregory de
Carell, we offered it to the said bishop for his nephew.
Before we got his reply there came this order from pope
Honorius : — [^Not inserted, although a space is left for it."]
The proctor of the said bishop refused to receive the said stall,
or to wait for his master's answer, or to deviate in any way
from the form prescribed in the pope's letter. Out of
reverence to the pope, and regard for the bishop, we give the
said Nicholas the first vacant prebend, of the same value as
the said church or greater, and they to receive him as a

t Henry III. kept this Christmas at York with Alexander of Scotland
(Fasti Ebor. L 286).
X Roger de Insula, dean from 1220 to 1235. In 1217 he was chancellor
of Lincoln (Le Neye, ii. 91). A chantiy was founded for him in York
Minster, at the altar of St. John of Beverley (Fabric Rolls, 288).
A Robert de Insula is said to have died prebendary of Twyford at Lon-
don in 1246 (Newcourt^ i. 210). It is more probable, however, that he was
advanced to a higher office, as I find a dispensation granted, on April 13,
1249, to Mr. Robert de Insula, archdeacon of Colchester, empowering him
to hold another benefice (Addit MS. 15356, 261). He is distinct from
Robert de Insula, bishop of Durham, who was a Benedictine monk.
§ Eilnwick Percy. This church was granted to the dean and chapter by
Robert de Percy and Agnes his wife (Reg. Album, pars ii. 16, 17).
II This indulgence is expressed in nearly the same words as Na cljulxiu.

I give notices of several documeuts relating to the same place.
On Jan. 19, 1227, the pope v^rites to the archbishop of York, stating
that Mr. Alexander Nolan has informed him that he (the archbishop) pro-
mised, in the presence of the late bishop of Norwich, the papal legate, to
provide him to a prebend at. York, which the archbishop has not done,
although he has bad the chance. The pope requests him to do so, giving, how-
ever, the first prebend that is vacant to Nicholas, nephew of the bishop of
Oslia (Vatican MSS.j Addit MS. 16352, 3i58).
On January 23 «cy., the pope desires the archdeacon of Durham to take
care that no harm is done to the property of Mr. Alexander Nolan whilst he
is at the papal court (Ibid. 368).

he has given the church of Geyneford, which he held, to his (the pope's)

t It may £Gurly be assumed that this is .the person who was prebendary of
NorthMu^ham at Southwell. In 1260the vicars of Southwell granted to him
tha t when the Missa de defunctis w&s celebrated in the church, a special petition
should be made for him and another for the souls of Bobert de Sutton his father
and Alice his mother ; also they promise to find a wax taper to bum daily at
our Lady Mass for the soul of the said Richard (Liber Albus de Southwell,
28). A chantiy at St. Peter^s altar at Southwell was founded for Richard
de Sutton's soul by his executors, Emald de Callenton and Oliver de Sutton,
canon of Lincoln, OliTer Sutton, bishop of Lincoln, being a helping party.
The deeds are in the Liber Albus. See also Thoroton*s Notts, 315-16.
This John de Lexington, the patron of living of Warsop, was a justiciar.
He died in^the 4l8t of Henry HI., his brother, Henry de Lexington,
bishop of Lincoln, being next heir (Cal. Geneal. i. 74). The bishop died in
the following year, leaving Richard de Markham and Wm. de Sutton (his
nephews) his heirs (Ibid. 78). Wm. de Sutton was then forty years old. lie
died in 62nd Henry HI., leaving (his son) Robert de Sutton, knight, his
heir, he being 27 years old (Ibid. 132). This Robert did not survive his
father long, dying in 2nd I'/iward I., and leaving Richard his son and heir,
who was eight years old (Ibid. 210).
For the alliances and descent of this Richard de Sutton my readers must
examine Dugdale's Baronage. On March 16, 1308, Richai-d de Sutton,
knight, releases to the dean and chapter of Lincoln all the services they owe
to him on accoimt of lands at Allerton (Ollerton), par. Edwinstow, out of
regard to Oliver (Sutton) late Bishop of Lincoln, of blessed memory, of

Sutton, the donor's sou and heir. (MS. Harl. 6954, 11a, from the Lincoln
Registers.)
I should like to be able to point out the exact place that Bishop Sutton
occupied in the family tree. The following notes will help to fix it On Jan.
24, 1286, Stephen de Sutton (archdeacon of Northants) administered to the
effects of Sir Robert de Sutton, knight, as his ^gemumus ' and executor (B,Q^.
Roman us at York). This Sir Robert was the brother of Sir William,
who died 62nd Henry III. Again, I find that on April 7, 1291, Bishop
Sutton granted an indulgence for the soul * germani nostri* Stephen de
Sutton, archdeacon of Northants, whose body lies in the prebendal
church of Empingham (MS. Harl. 6951, 27 b). This Stephen was archdea-
con of Northants, 1280-1290 (Le Neve, ii. 66, 146), prebendary of South
Newbald, at York, when he died in 1290 (Reg. Romanus), rector of Thores-
way and Aston in the diocese of Lincoln (MS. Harl. 6950, 70a j 98a ; Baker's
Northants, i. 472). He also held the rich livings of Averham and Warsop,
Notts (Reg. Giffard at York).
I leave it to my readers to find out what is the exact meaning of the
word *germanus.* That will settle the point in question. At all events, it
seems pretty certain that Bishop Suttun was related to Henry de Lexington,
his predecessor in the see of Lincoln.
• This is, I suppose, John Franceys or Francigena, who was afterwards
prebendary of Holbom at London (Newcourt, i. 150). On Aug. 26, 1260,
Innocent IV, desired the Archbishop of York to admit John 'cQctus Fran-
cigena,' the king*s clerk, to higher orders, although he has a defect in one eye
(Addit MS. 15356, 341). He was a Baron of the Exchequer. SeeFo88,ii.
343-4. He is said to have died in 1265, and to have been lamented by the
monks of St. Mary's, York, and Selby, *eiccis lacrymis ' (Matt. Paris, iii. 347).

at the presentation of the abbat and convent S. M. Ebor. Salva

DLXI. London, 9 kal. Maii xl. — ^The abbat and convent of
Kokersand, having presented Wm. de Roterfeld,* clerk, to the
* There were two persons of ibis name holding high office in the church
of York during this century.
The first WilliRm de Kotherfield appears to have been treasurer of the
minster between 1218 and 1241 (Le Neve^ iii. 158). He was also arcb^
deacon of Richmond, I bellere, between 1218 and 1237.
The second William de Rotherfield is better known as WiUiam de
Langton, and was the more important personage of the two. He seems to
have been in the first instance suocentor canonicorum at York. About the
year 1263 he became dean of York, an honour which be held until his death,
in 1279.
On the death of Archbishop Ludham, in 126d| Dean Langton was elected
to the archieplscopate, but the election was quashed by the pope on the score
of his being a pluralisti although at that time he held but one living in the
deanery of York. (MS. Cotton, Vitellius A. ii. in. h.) In 1278 he was
chosen Bishopof 0arli8le,but this office he declined. (Chron. Lanercost, 102.)
In the following year he died, and was buried in the south transept, near
Archbishop Gray*s tomb. There ' stood a tomb of molten brass inclosed by
an iron grate, wliereon lay the effigies of aclerg3rman having a wound on his
head and a crucifix at his breast with this inscription: -i- Hie requiescit
corpus Willelmi Langton quondam decani Ebor, qui obiit die Sancti
Swithini anno Domini kcclxxix., cujus anima sit coram Deo.' (MS. Torre,
de Cath. Ebor. 200.) Drake (p. 494) gives an engraying of this tomb,
showing a singular object upon the dean's breast The effigy was destroyed,
I believe, during one of the fires.
In 1202 a chantry was founded in the minster at St. Stephen's altar for
the dean's soul (Fabric Rolls, 301). He was also commemorated at St. John
the Baptist's altar, together vrith John de Langton, archdeacon of York, who
was probably his brother (Ibid. 290).
The dean left a will which I have not eeen. His executors were Wm. de

• Confirmed by Honorius III., 3 id. March, anno x. * pro eo quod (can-
cellaria) sic foret in facultatibus tenuis et exilis, ut redditus sui summam
centum solidorum non excederent annuatim.' (Reg Album, iii. 46 ; entered
on Addit. MS. 15352, 309.)
Richard the abbat and the convent of Thornton grant the church to the
chapter (Ibid. 4«). It has been given to Thornton by Wm. de Scures.
' fc ) His grant of it was confirmed by Stephen, son of Herbert the chamberlain
of the king of Scotland (4b).
- - Hamo the dean and the chapter of York confirm the appropriation which
^ Archbishop Gray has made of the churches of Humbleton and Garton to the
abbat and convent of Thornton. The archbishop is a witness (Ibid. 6a b).
The abbat and convent renounce their right to Acklam. There had
evidently been an exchange.

* There is no date to thia letter, nor can I give one, but it was probably
written inter 1220-23.

* The King of Jerusalem came to England in 1223 (Matt Paris, ii,
25^-60), and this letter was perhaps written in the same year.
t It seems probable from this letter that this great northern baron had
received the sign of the cross from his addressing the well-known protectors
of the Holy Sepulchre and its worshippers. They would therefore hava
some interest in his property.

* This person was a victim to the assault that was made upon the prin-
ciple of hereditary succession to Uyings. It was no doubt in obedience to
the pope*s direction that Wivertorp found a resting-place in 1228 in the
i«ctory of Rowley. See No. cxxni. It would seem however that the
living of which Wivertorp had been deprived was not filled up until
November 1229. There seems to have been a doubt as to the validity of
title of the new incumbents of such livings.
t There are several copies of this document at Durham. It is partly
printed in Hutchinson's Durham, ii. 79. The document itself should have
been given sooner in the regular chronological sequence.

tiosis, verum etiam caritatis studio exhibeant gratiam libe-

et nos, si quid deesset, supplere facile valeamus. Sane idem
coram nobis exposuit quod prsebenda, quam tu in eadem
ecclesia sibi donasti, tempore {ursedecesBorum ejus non erat
alicujus certi valoris, nee consistebat in aliquo certo loco, sed
tantummodo in communa, quse quandoque plus quandoque
minus pro temporum varietate valebat, ejusque proventus, sive
prsBsentes essent sive absentee, perdpiebant in duobus terminis
annuatim. Postmodo vero, quia valde pauci canonici resi-
dentiam in ecclesia fadebant, fuit de tua et ipsorum decani et
capituli voluntate provisum,* ut illi tantummodo qui residen-
tiam &cerent et officiis interessent communam perciperent
sequis inter se partibus dividendam ; et quicunque praebendam
illam haberet quam dictus magister nunc ebtinet, nisi residen-
tiam faceret, tantummodo eexi, marcas pro sua prsBbenda in
duobus terminis annuatim perciperet de communa. Si vero
residentiam feceret, partem totius communsB qu» ipsum con-
tingeret, una cum prsetaxatis sex marcis sine diminutione perci-
peret, sicut alii residentes. Nunc autem, quia prsebenda ilia
quam contulisti prsefEtto magistro respectu aliarum nimis
videtur exilis, ecclesiam de Trokelinton,t ad tuam donationem
spectantem, addidisti illi prsebendse. Sed dicti decanus et
capitulum illas sex marcas quas constituerant loco prsebendas
volunt sibi subtrahere, inbeerentes cuidam verbo quod in C!on-
stitutione ipsorum dicitur contineri, videlicet quod canonicus
qui habet prsebendam illam pro ea sex marcas de conmiuna
percipiat annuatim^ nisi fuerit in certis redditibus sibi provi-
communia debeatis. Nos igitur re^pondemus quod dod inteodimns ut per
hoc quotidianie distributiones, quas perctpere debent rendentes derici, et
qui canonicis boris interaunt, clericis propter hoc abseotibuB ministrentur.

THE SENTENCE OF THE CHAPTER OF YORK, THE JUDGES IN THE
SUIT BETWEEN THE RECTOR OF NORTHALLERTON AND THE
MASTER OF THE HOSPITAL.
Univbrsis sanctfe matris ecclesiae filiis ad quos prsesens scriptum
pervenerit capitulum Eboracense salutem in Domino. Noverit
universitas vestra qnod cum causa verteretur inter Eobertum
rectorem ecclesiae de Alverton, actorem, et Eeginaldimi cus-
todem Hospitalis de Alverton, reum, super spoliatione facta ab
eodem Reginaldo tarn decimationum, obventionum, oblationum
quam juris parochialis quod ecclesia de Alverton in praedicto
habebat Hospitali : item super delatione et projectione cujus-
dam cadaveris mortui ante fores cimiterii per Reginaldum, post
appellationem ejusdem actoris, sine corporis-praesento quod
ecclesia consuevit percipere de defimctis in praedicto Hospitali,
propter quae excommunicatus fuit praedictus Eeginaldus a
presbyt^ro parochiali ; unde dictus E., rector ecclesiae de Alver-
ton, dicebat se damnificatum esse in viginti marcis argenti.
Ambo in praesentia nostra constituti, super praemissis se jiuis-
dictioni nostrae subjecerunt, fide hinc nobis praestita nostro
standi judicio. Lite igitur inter eos coram nobis solemniter
contestata, testes actoris ad probationem suae intentionis admisi-
mus, reo ad sui defensionem nequaquam testes producente,
licet ad hoc saepius vocatus fuisset. Publicatis tandem attesta-
tionibus, cum nobis de intentione actoris per testes omni excep-
tione majores plenissime constaret, ordine juris in omnibus
observato, habito super hoc virorum prudentium consilio, jus
parochiale de praedicto Hospitali, tam in spiritualibus quam in
temporalibus, videlicet in decimationum, oblationum, obven-
tionum, et corporum-praesentorum omnium ibidem decedentium
praestatione, restituendum ecclesiae de Alverton et de caetero
possidendum sententialiter adjudicamus. Nihilominus ipsum
Eeginaldum, pro damnificatione ecclesiae de Alverton facta per
retentionem praedictorum, in viginti marcis argenti E., rectori
ecclesiae de Alverton, persolvendis condemnavimus, sententiam
excommunicationis in saepedictum R. custodem Hospitalis a
presbytero parochiali latam confirmantes, et usque ad condignam
satisfactionem observandam decernentes. Et quoniam prae-

tulabat, legitima praehabita taxatione, R., custodem Hospitalis,

nomine dignitatis omnia alia ad thesaurariimi pertinentia statim
percipiat ad ejusdem dignitatis onera sustinenda : ita etiam
quod praebendam, si quam prius habuerit in ecclesia Ebora-
censi, licite retineat, quousque finite anno mortui ad ipsum
Wilton cum pertinentiis revertatur. In cujus rei testimonium

The connection of the Vavasours with Archbishop Gray may perhaps be
explained in the following manner. A certain William de Duston left three
daughters and co-heiresses, of whom Isabella, the eldest, married Walter
de Gray, and Joan, the youngest, became the wife of Mauger le Vavasour.
By her Inq. Post Mortem, in 4th Edw. I., it was found that Mauger le
Vavasour was her son and heir, being then 30 years old and more. Thia
Mauger, as appears by his own Inq. P. M., in 8th Edw. I., left a son and

LXXXI. CRBTAIN INJUNCTIONS ISSUED BY ARCHBISHOP GRAY TO HIS
CLERGT.
[MSS. Cotton, Vitellius D. v.; Cleopatra D. iii. 191.]
I.
DE ORNAMENTIS ECCLESIA QU^ PERTINENT RECTORIBUS ET QU^
PAROCHIANIS IN PROVINCIA EBOR.f
Decretum domini Walter! Gray, archiepiscopi Eboracensis,
• This document is derived * ex Formulario Marini Ebuli^ epist. 3307,
page 370/ where it stands at the end of the letters of Innocent IV. It
seems to be of an earlier date by at least twenty years.
t This important document is printed in the great work of Wilkins
(i. 698-9), who calls it ' Constitutiones Provinciales Eboracenses.' It is
also^ I believe, in Spelman, and Labbe gives it in his great work on Coun-
cilsy vol. xi. part i. coll. 703-6. Mr. Peacock also prints it in his book on
English Church Furniture, pp. 175-8.
The year 1250 is assigned to the document, but whether with accuracy
or not I cannot say.
The MS. Vitellius is one of those injured by the fire, and can only be
read with very great difficulty ; indeed, parts of it are gone. The other
Cottonian MS. is of higher value. The first MS. begins with the words
' Decretum domini Walteri Gray quondam archiepiscopi Eboracensis,*
showing that the transcript was made after his decease. Indeed the whole
piece is merely an extract from the original Injunctions.

QcoNlAM, propter diversas consuetudines in petendo decimam,
propter diversas causas, inter rectores ecclesiarum et parochianos
6U08, rixae, et content! ones, scandala et odia permaxima ori-
imtur; volumus, quod in cunclis ecclesiis parochialibus, per
archiepiscopatum nostrum constitutis, uniformis sit petitio
decimarum, et proventuum ecclesiasticorum. In primis volu-
mus quod deciraae de frugibus, non deductis expensis, integre
et sine aliqua diminutione solvantur, et etiam de fructibus
arborum, et seminibus omnibus, et herbis hortorum, nisi paro-
chiani competentem pro talibus decimis velint facere redemp-
tionem. Volumus etiam, quod decimae de foenis, ubicunque
erescant, sive in magnis pratis, sive in parvis, sive in hortis,
exigantur ; et, prout expedit, ecclesiae persolvantur. De nutri-
mentis autem animalium, volumus, si de agnis, quod pro sex
agnis, et infra, sex oboli dentur ; pro decima, Septimus agnus,
et supra, semper detur pro decima ; ita tamen, quod rector
ecclesiaB, qui septimum agnum receperit, det parochiano suo a
quo decimam illam receperit, tres obolos in recompensationem.
Qui octavum agnum receperit, det denarium parochiano. Qui
nonum agnum receperit, det obolum parochiano ; vel expectet
rector ecclesiae ad alt«rum annum, donee possit decimum
agnum habere, si maluerit; et qui ita expectavent, semper
exigat secundum meliorem agnum, vel tertium ad minus de
agnis secundi anni ; et hoc pro exspectatione primi anni. Et
ita intelligendum est de decima lanse : quod si oves alibi in
hyeme, et alibi in aestate nutriuntur, decima est dividenda ;
similiter, si quis in medio tempore emferit, vel vendiderit oves,
et certum sit de qua parochia illae venenmt, dividenda est,

sicut de re, quae sequitur domicilia ; si autem incerttim fuerit,
habeat ilia ecclesia decimam, infra cujus limites tempore ton-
eionis oves inveniuntur. De lacte, volumus, quod decimae
solvantur, dum durat ; viz. de caseo tempore siio ; et de lacte
in autumno et hyeme ; nisi parochiani competentem velint pro
decimis talibus facere redemptionem ; et hoc ad valorem deci-
mae et commodum ecclesiae. De proventibus autem molendi-
norum, volumus, quod decimae exigantur et solvantur, ad
valorem proventuum, et hoc nisi domini pro valore proventuum
faciant redemptionem. De pasturis autem et pascuis, tarn
communibus quam non communibus, statuimus, quod decimae
fideliter persolvantur, et hoc per numerum animalium et
dierum, si expedit ecclesiae. De piscationibus autem et
apibus, sicut de omnibus aliis bonis juste acquisitis, quae
renovantur per annum, statuimus, quod decimae exigantur,
Bed debito modo. Statuimus etiam, quod decimae personales
solvantur de artificibus, de mercatoribus, et de lucro nego-
tiationis, similiter de carpentariis, fabris, textoribus, pan-
doxatoribus, et omnibus aliis stipendiariis operariis; vide-
licet quod dent decimas de stipendiis suis, riisi ipsi stipendiarii
aliquod certum velint dare ad opus, vel ad lumen ecclesiae,
si rectori placuerit. In petitione autem principalis legati
volumus, quod consuetudo provinciae cum possessione ecclesiae
observetur ; ita tamen quod rector ecclesiae in petitione sua,
sive fuerit vicarius, sive capellanus annuus, habeat Deum prae
oculis. Sed quoniam multi inveniuntur decimas dare nolentes,
statuimus, quod parochiani admoneantur primo, secundo, et
tertio, ut decimas Deo et ecclesiae fideliter solvant, quod si se
non emendaverint, primo ab ingressu ecclesiae suspendantur ; et
sic demum ad solutionem decimarum per censuram ecclesias-
ticam, si necesse fuerit, compellantur. Si tamen dictae sus-
pensionis relaxationem vel absolutionem petierint, ad ordinarium
locorum mittantur absolvendi, et debito modo puniendi. Eec-
tores autem ecclesiarum, seu vicarii, seu capellani annui, qui
praedictas decimas praedicto modo, seu propter formidinem
faominum, seu favorem, Dei timore postposito, cum effectu non
petierint, poena suspensionis innodentur, donee dimidiam mar-
cam argenti pro sua inobedientia archidiacono persolverint.

^ This Roger de Lanum (Laneham), clerk, occurs in the Liber Albus de
Southwell as owner of lands in Halum, Esthorp, and Southwell, which ho
alienates to William de Wydindon and others (91, 163, 29C, 298).
One of the charters relating to Halum is witnessed by Master W. de
Lanum, archdeacon of Durham, who, it may be fairly assumed, was of the
same family (Ibid. 147). This William de Lanum was a canon of York,
and gave lands in Sutton to the vicars choral of York Minster (Cart, penes
Vic. Chor. Ebor.) ; indeed, he is said by Dugdale to have given the Bedem
in York to the same body (Dugdale, vi. 1475).
William de Lanum made his will in 1248, and left all his possessions in
Thirsk to Mr. Stephen de Ecclesfield, canon of York (Smith's Annals of
Univ. ColL Oxon, p. 106). I must refer my readers to that learned and
little known work for a farther account of Lanum. It seems pretty evident
that he was that William of Durham who was the real founder of University
College, Oxford.
There was another Mr. Roger de Lanum at Southwell, temp. Edwan)
IL and III., who left a wife, Johanna, and two daughters, Elizabeth and
Agnes (Liber Albus de Southwell, var. loc.).

[MS. Lansdowne, ccccii. 18-19.]
Omnibus — Adam de Ebington, salutem. Noveritis quod ad
instantiam meam et amicorum meorum concessit mihi et
hominibus de Hebrington venerabilis pater, dominus Walterus
Ebor. archiepiscopus, communiam herbagii a villa de Elrinton
versus Blakedik, sic ascendendo versus austrum usque ad
magnam viam quae ducit ad Alwenton, Ita quod liceat nobis
averia nostra de Elrinton in prsedicta pastiu-a habere sine
occasione usque ad prsedictas divisas. Si vero divisas illas per
escapium excesserint, liceat *nobis averia prssdicta sine occa-
sione et impedimento reducere, nisi in blado vel prato inventa
fuerint. Similiter et si averia domini archiepiscopi, vel
hominum suorum, infra terras de Elrinton ultra Kipseslowe,
vel Jakele vel Privakepan per escapium intraverint, sine im-
pedimento reducantur. Omnes etiam homines praedicti domini
archiepiscopi infra Elrinton et Langhop, terras cultas vel
clausas habentes, ipsas in pace possideant ; et Eicardus filius
Alexandri terram suam, quam nondum die conventionis hujus
factae excoluerat. Pro hac autem concessione dabimus prsedicto
domino archiepiscopo, nomine firmse, x. solidos annuatim, medi-
etatem ad festum Sancti Martini et medietatem ad Pentecos-
ten : et sic sopita est omnis controversia inter ipsum dominum
archiepiscopum et homines villas de Elrinton, nisi Nicholaus
de Veteri Ponte competentiorem conventionis formam cum
praedicto domino archiepiscopo inire poterit. Et haec fideliter
et firmiter observanda affidavi et sacramento corporaliter prae-
stito juravi coram Priore Extildesham, magistro Symone de
Evesham et Laurentio Lincoln, Petro de Vallibus, Willelmo

NoTUM sit omnibus hominibus quod cum controversia mota
esset inter dominum Walterum Ebor. archiepiscopimi, ex una
parte, et Nicholaum de Veteri Ponte et Adam de Elrington,
super quibusdam pasturis, tandem inter eosdem lis conquievit

suis totum jus et clamium quod habuerunt vel ratione habere

parte occidentali et aquilonali praedictarum divisarum, eisdem
Nicholao et Adas et eorum haeredibus, pro se et successori-
bus suis, concessit et quietam clamavit : ita quod praedictus

dictus dominus archiepiscopus et sui homines escapium averio-

villam de Elrington pertinentibus, exceptis eorundem defensis.
Ita quod licebit utrique parti in dictis escapiis averia sua sine
impedimento reducere, si sine warda feu^ta fuerint inventa.
Hanc autem concessionem et quietam clamationem fideliter

quicquid continetur inter duos prsBdictos rivulos usque Ywenne-

sub hac forma amicabiliter conquievit : scilicet, quod praedictus
dominus archiepiscopus pro se et successoribus suis remisit et
quietum clamavit in perpetuum dicto hospitali et eisdem
Magisfcro et Fratribus quicquid habuit infra prsedictas divisas,

dominus archiepiscopus vel successores sui nihil omnino exi-

praesenti scripto, in modum cyrographi confecto, partes prae-
dictae sigilla sua hinc inde apposuerunt, cujus una pars penes
dictum dominimi archiepiscopum, et altera penes ipsos Magis-

de Kedelemeburn, et ita quicquid continetur inter duos prsedictos rivulos
usque Twencrosse ; tandem post diutinas altercaliones eadem discordia sub
hac forma amicabiliter conquievit, videlicet, quod prsedicti Magister et
Fratres hospitalis praedicti tenerent de praefato praedecessore nostro et ecclesia
nostra Ebor. dictam pasturam pro ids, sterling, slbi et suis successoribus annu-
atim reddendis. Quo circa certis de causis tibi mandamus, iirmiter injun-
gentes, quatenus quamcito commode poteris, per probos et legales homines de
vicinia,de limitibus et divisis dictaa pasturae diligentem facias inquisitionem,
et an aliquid de solo nostro ultra verus limites per dictos Magistrum et Fratres
fuerit hactenus occupatum ; et, si dc, illud ad jus et statum pristinum absque
moras dispendio reducatur. Inquirens nihilominus diligenter an foret ad dam-
num etprasjudicium nostrum sea ecclesias nostras Ebor., si nos concessionem
et ordinationem, quoad dictam pasturam sic factam, nostrse confirmationis
munimine roboremus ; et si praej udicium nobis ex hoc fieret sive damnum,
inquiratur qualiter, in quantum, et ex quibus causis, ac de aliis circumstan-
tiis quae nos movere poterunt ad confirm ationem hujusmodi, quae a nobis
petitur, concedendam, prout expedire viderimus, vel etiam denegandara. Et
quid per inquisitionem hujusmodi inreneris, nobis opportuno tempore con^
stare facias distincte, per tuas clausas literas tuo et illorum per quos eadem
inquisitio facta fuerit sigillis signatas, quas harum seriem repraesentent. Vale.

THE SURTEES SOCIETY-
REPORT FOR THE YEAR MD.CCC.LXIX.
A THIRTY-FIFTH anniversary might reaaonatly be supposed to
sugcrest to any Society some ideas of old age and decay, but the
Surtees Society, although it is the oldest of the publishing clubs
of the day, has lost little, if any, of the strength and energy of
its youth. Of the gentlemen who became members in 1834^
there are ten still surviving, and it must be a gratification to
them to look upon the continued success of an association vrith
which they have been connected so long.
The past year has not been an eventful one. There is one
occurrence, however, which the Council most sincerely deplore,
and that is the decease of a brother Councillor of no ordinary
merit and repute, Mr. J. R. Walbran, of Ripon. Mr. Walbran
is well known to the members and the public by his volume on
Fountains Abbey, into which he threw nimself with an enthu-
siasm and a determination which few modem antiquaries have
evinced. At the time of his premature and lamented death,
Mr. Walbran was busily engaged upon a second volume of the
same work, and it is to be feared that to his devotion to literary
pursuits the cutting short of his valuable life is to be ascribed.
Another volume of Wills and Inventories selected from the
testamentary treasures in the registry at York will soon be in the
hands of the members. Although it is the fourth of a series, the
K»ent volume will not descend below the reign of Henry VII.
ere is so much of interest during that early period, that it
would be an injustice to the subject if it were to be needlessly
curtailed. From no documents can we derive a clearer insight
into the lives and manners of our ancestors than from their wills,
and the volumes which the Surtees Societv has produced are
among the most useful and popular of its publications.

Another subject has been taken in hand, to which Professor
Stnbbs lyill do due justice, and that is the early history of
Durham (now Triniirp-) College, Oxford. Founded in the 14th
century for the special use of the monks of Durham, all the
documents, account rolls, and inventories connected with it have
been preserved by the inmates of the great northern monastery
with characteristic precision and care. It may be questioned
whether similar evidences exist in any other repository ; at aD
events, if they do, they have never been laid before the public
eye ; and the members of the Surtees Socieiy will be sure to look
with interest upon these records which are so highly illustrative,
not only of the scholastic life of the middle ages, but of the zeal
fi)r honest and sound learning for which the diurch of Durham
has been for many c^ituries so remarkably distinguished.
